About This Qualification
This qualification reflects the role of individuals such as supervisors or team leaders, working in metalliferous processing facilities or coal preparation and treatment plants, who perform tasks involving a broad range of varied activities, most of which are complex and non-routine. They are responsible for the quantity and quality of the output of others, contribute to the development of technical solutions to non-routine problems and apply safety management plans to the workplace.

Could RPL Be Right for You?
Experience can be evidence.
RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.
RPL typically involves:
A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements
Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency
Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation
If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise
ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice
RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.
Our approach:
“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”
What Kind of Experience Counts?
If RPL becomes available for this qualification, the types of experience and evidence that would typically be relevant include:
Work History & Roles
- ✓Comprehensive resume and detailed position descriptions
- ✓Records of previous mining inductions and site authorisations
- ✓Performance reviews or supervisor declarations of competency
Safety & Compliance
- ✓WHS investigation reports and safety meeting minutes
- ✓Risk management plans and emergency response logs
- ✓Compliance audit records and statutory reporting samples
Operational Oversight
- ✓Shift handover reports and production quality logs
- ✓Technical solutions developed for non-routine plant issues
- ✓Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) updates and reviews
Team Leadership
- ✓Staff training and mentoring records
- ✓Resource allocation and shift scheduling documents
- ✓Records of supervising the output and quality of others
This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
